Lemjth, 3^ mm.; bi'eadth, 14 mm. Punjab : Murree (Sioliczka). Type in the Dresden Museum. 234. Ptochus concinnus, sp. nov. Piceous, with dense scaling varying from grey to dark buff; the protliorax with a distinct dark lateral stripe and below it a pale stripe, which is lighter than the disk and is contiiuied back on to the elytra ; at the base of the elytra the intervals are alternately slightly darker and lighter. Head with the eyes quite lateral and moderately convex, the forehead convex, shallowly punctate beneath the scaling, very broad, but not broader than the space between the scrobes. Rostrum much broader than long, slightly narrowed from base to. Fig. S3.—Ptochus concinnns, Msbl. apex, the sides almost straight; the scrobes sublateral, very widely separated and not at all convergent; the central dorsal area very broad, almost flat, parallel-sided, its lateral margins angulatecl but not carinate, with a very fine central carina which is hidden by the scaling. Antennce piceous, the club paler; the funicle with joint 1 evidently longer and stouter than 2, the remainder subquadrate. Protliorax nearly twice as broad as long, the sides moderately rounded, broadest about the middle, the basal margin truncate and scarcely narrower than the apical, which is slightly sinuate; the scaling on the disk
